I haven't fully thought this out yet and I know nothing of the implications it could have but I think that it should be possible to convert peaceful mobs into eggs via some mechanic, if possible to do with a plugin. Perhaps you can feed the mob a diamond block and it will convert into a spawn egg that can be taken to another world or sold in a shop. Here's how it would benefit the server:

Would remove diamonds from the system, helping raise the price of diamonds overall.
Would make it possible to move animals from one world to another.
Would make it possible to actually sell animals in a shop (which you would see all the time in medieval settlements).

I can't actually think of any ways in which this can be damaging to the server... but if you can think of some post them please!

wafflecash 's got a point. that wouldn't solve anything with the upside-down crap. I think Mecharic has a really good idea, but it would need to be tweaked.
 
Mecharic I like this there is a similar thing that is a plugin, mob catcher but all you need is and egg and 5 Redstone you throw the egg at the mob and it converts it to an spawn egg of that mob you would need to configure it so mob catching is more expensive and also so you can't catch hostile mobs.

Mmhmm if you could catch hostile mobs, people would be attacking Regalia with creepers...

It's a coding glitch. Meaning it really can't be changed unless you can go into the Minecraft files and fix it yourself. Literally, there are some people that know how to do that, just not many, or you just wait until the next update, which again, might be a bit.

Brilliant idea, there is a plugin close to what you mentioned, only you smack a mob with a slimeball, and it eats gold nuggets from your inventory. Mobs like the Enderdragon that don't normally spawn suck up a half stack of diamonds, and converts it into a dragon egg, and Idk what it does with the Wither.

Not only is this idea a good one, but it adds to RP, and helps the economy, by eventually, a LOT.
 
Just don't make 'capturing a mob' too expensive. That may ruin the trade aspect again. ;)
 
It needs to be expensive enough that every noob and their grandmother can't do it but cheap enough that normal players can manage it. I think a diamond block would be a fair trade for being able to quickly and safely transport your sheep/cattle/horses/chickens/squids to a safer location. It would not work on Wolves, Cats, Aggressive Mobs, or Villagers.
